Virtual reality, though first introduced centuries ago, has gained enormous interest only in recent decades.This can be mainly because new technologies develop fast, and virtual things now form a part and parcel of our lives, in our everyday activities.Devices are very much in vogue wherein these hand gestures can control many functions.This is widely called as the leap motion.This paper will present a method to control the cursor manually, with no dependency on any electronic input device.The most common activities like click and drag can be accomplished by several hand gestures.However, the system uses only a webcam-either integrated or externally connected to the device-to function as an input device.The system can be developed with the use of OpenCV and Python.The output of the webcam will be shown on the screen for real-time adjustment.The system development will also include Python dependencies, such as NumPy, math, wx, and mouse.
